Chapter 124

After the All-Star promotional video and TV5's esports-related reports aired, Jiang Ming knew the truth could no longer be hidden.

Or rather, the script of his long-concealed return as the Qilin Prince and Dragon King—smiling with a ninety-degree grin that shocked even his father—could no longer be delayed; external forces forced him into the next stage.

At 9 p. m. that night, Comrade Jiang, who had been surfing the internet intensely for four or five hours straight, finally managed to deal with his son.

Immediate, indescribable heavenly merits descended upon him, pulling him into a deep immersion of realm advancement, countless and uncountable.

Wu Yong took off his lab coat, smoothed his messy hair, and followed Li Zhichao toward the conference room. Twenty minutes later, Guo Jie entered with Long Kaishan and two others.

That old bastard of a master left in a hurry and never taught me any real skills; if my delicate mistress had still been around, I might have asked her for advice—but my delicate mistress's soul is too weak now, so I'm left to figure it all out myself.

Liu Mo seemed truly exhausted; after gently patting Hua Yueman's back a few times, his breathing grew steady and even.

Liang Jian looked at Minister Xiang, the man even Xu Qingliu bowed to—surely his father-in-law knew something.

Cai Yan stared at Su Tao on the screen, her eyes gleaming; though she was a hundred li away, her heart never stopped worrying about everything happening there.

She had always thought she understood Liu Mo's perverted nature well—but when she saw this note, she realized she had never grasped the essence of his perversion.

"Yes, Uncle, Yaya knows. Yaya wants to stay with Mother for a few more years before stepping out to see the world," Yaya said firmly.

After setting aside these concerns, Chen Hao felt no pressure; as long as no one bothered him, he had no desire to stir up trouble.

Du Ping assigned subordinates to show Ji Xiangjun and Hattori Mai around the Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum, while Su Tao joined him in his office for tea; the two developed fresh ideas for the development of Qihuang New City.

Two thunderous roars, like great bells and gongs, echoed across Huoxu City, clear to every ear, filling all who heard them with dread.

All of this stems from the Level-7 beast core; among humans, many gifted individuals are born with innate abilities. Beasts, too, have many gifted ones, some born with innate ancestral transmission abilities.

Even ordinary citizens without weapons now refused to have any dealings with the Yuanding Nation. Though reconstruction in Liu Bo City had only just begun, and though everyone knew Liu Bo City remained in dire straits, people there now trusted Zhou Yu more than they trusted Yuanding.

Another thunderous crash struck Bu Jingfeng's wind blade. Though the blade's radiance inflicted no direct damage, the sheer force slammed him into the ground, cratering the hard earth.

Yu Dong'er's cheeks flushed slightly; she dared not speak further, soaring into the heavy rain. Mi Dou had seen festival performers and tavern dances, but he could not possibly imagine how shocking the dance of Keling Realm truly was.

The net detached and vanished, while Du Shuangling, now wrapped like a rice dumpling, shot like a cannonball into a haypile—still unconscious.

Cang Li rubbed his head; hearing Ling Xiao's words, his eyes lit up—each attack seemed closer to victory, especially just now, when he had almost won.

"Do you know who I am?" The old man's gaze flickered uncertainly; he never expected anyone in this world still knew his identity.

Previously, Chi Lu had given Mu Feng a token linked to Chi Feng, the patriarch of the Chi Feng Clan, so Mu Feng had stopped—only severing Chi Xingyan's cultivation, not killing him.

"Oh, your companion's name is Qinglan? Any other traits—like her favored Cultivation Technique or the name of her magical treasure?" Jiang Hao's expression changed sharply upon hearing "Qinglan"; his eyes flickered several times before asking this.
